Zip Formats

[synthesys]

I've installed Joomla, and have been trying out different templates for it.

 

Templates are distributed in zip files, and Joomla provides a way to install directly after downloading the file from your computer. This has worked just fine in the past, but now I get a PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT error when I attempt the install.

 

Joomla says my server must be using PCLZip instead of GZip, and thus the problem. Just what are my options here and how might I work around this?

Thats weird.

 

I have tried several themes in the last weeks and no such error shows up.

 

Is it a specific theme telling you this error or is it the people in the joomla forum, or their developers etc?

 

If its a specific theme, does any other theme give you this error?

Hello,

 

Thats very intresting. Just tried with mine and it seems to except normal zips just fine.

 

If its not just a single template doing this, please start a help desk ticket, reference this thread and the support gurus will take a look at the server setup

I didn't have trouble with the first time a couple of weeks ago.

 

There are two themes I got from JoomlaResource that dont upload: lcars.zip and joomla_black.zip.

Hi,

 

Please do start a support ticket, I am most sure its not the server, but its best to have it checked!
